A Great Legal Advisor for Entrepreneurs in NC

I worked with James Forrest earlier this year while incorporating my company as an LLC in North Carolina. Straight away, I was impressed with James's professionalism and responsiveness. He was informative and helped me with each step, managing my expectations along the way. I was particularly im...pressed by the level of consideration and advice he had for me and my business, and his ability to customize a set of contract templates for me to use in my business development. He listened to the concerns I had about what I perceived as my increasing risk resulting from the growth of my business. He validated these concerns in some places, alleviated them in others, and really did a great job of giving me what I see as appropriate risk coverage in the contracts I now use with my own clients. I have built a great level of trust in James, and I recommend him to anyone in my network.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
